Lawrence County High School was established in September 1977. It shares its name with the county in which it is located, and offers public education to students of
Lawrence County, Kentucky, in grades 9–12. Students attending LCHS are filtered in from one middle school, two elementary-middle schools, and one private Christian school from across Lawrence County. The school is located next to the Lawrence County Board of Education and Lawrence County Community Center. In 2021, Governor
Andy Beshear announced that Lawrence County High School would receive $9,280,350 from the
American Rescue Plan Act for the expansion and renovation of the school's vocational department. Improvements are anticipated for the areas of agricultural education, coal technology, engineering, construction, and carpentry as well the addition of a computer science pathway and a distance learning lab. ==Notable alumni==
